Spice Mi-1010 Stellar Pad - User Reviews

  • i m not able to turn wifi on in my tab...anyone who has the answer plz reply

  • I got this Spice tablet Mi1010 a year back. Pro: good screen resolution good usb connection option, I can connect external HD and thumb drive using connector provided good sound 10 inch display Con: Charging connector is very very delicate. you have to take extra care not to break it. Screen started with weird flicker after 6 month (got it replaced at Spice Service center, as it was within warranty), Pune Satara Service center response was very bad, took nearly a month to get the handset back. (Looks like they had replace an old refurbish piece) Now after a year, battery and screen flicker problem, as per service center there is no battery and parts available, after many trips to center they told to follow up if they get battery they will replace. Service center folks (Rahul) are very rude Suggestion: DO NOT BUY SPICE Mi1010

  • the best tablet only because of the value for money it offered . Yes it had charging problems but with changed charger its working even well for 8 hrs backup after 2 years of use. seriously in that price bracket one could not ask for. i accidently broke its screen although touch is still working fine. thinking of buying it again but now company stopped production & could not find any other brand's tablet for same specs & price.........!

  • Please help me in unlocking my Tab as i have lost the use name and password.............

  • I purchased it through naaptol a year ago. From the beggining i could not connect it with mobile data connection.I went service centre at that time, but they were so unexpertised that they could not solve it. So till now i connect to internet through wifi.it works ok. Reading books are perfect.photos are easily viewing.Videos sometimes lags.playing games so so. Chargeing problems occurs several times.Nowadays the display flickers for some occasions. Chepest 10 inch tablet. Not recommended for buying

  • Worst gadget i ever had . You cant even find it's charger in the market. Even not on it's service station or showroom.

  • hopeless company...had display problem twice....da damn service is so slow dey solve it nd gv u bck aftr two mnths...nw m suffering frm a battery problm...shows 100% bt dies aftr 5 mins....always buy proper brands product ..instead of these cheaper alternate companies....

  • I bought this last May and it's been one of the best tab so far. The display is good and so is the touch response. Some of them seem to be having a problem with the display, I haven't had any problem so far. Lot of times, I don't need to use a desktop as it can be connected to a compact keyboard. The battery gives you lot of juice, the last time I checked I was able to get about 9 hours! It takes about 4 to 5 hours to charge.

  • this is a very important tablet in my life. after seeing so many reviews i bought this one. upto 2 months it worked very well. after that . . . . . screen did not respond to touch. service? after 1 month they gave it back and it worked for 1 hr. again same problem. dont buy cheap products .lesson.

  • can ayine tell me how to use dongle for callingin this non-calling tablet.. im havin a vodafone dongle.. pls help me.. :)

  • My tab's display somehow got damaged that is it has linings n also a little cracked ....... Am really pissed they r demanding 4200 for exchange of the display dont know what to do???... Can any one help???

  • Horrible experience. 5 times went to service center for display problem. No assurance to rectify. Tab is plenty of quality issues. Battery is weak. Charging issue. Continuous blinking. Makes unusual sound during charging. Please do not by this low quality product.

  • this tab has no sim but you can use a sim via a dongle and it will work well.[I have tried most of the sim cards like reliance, docomo,airtel and vodafone and they all work. I am using a HUAWEI dongle].I am now using this tab for about 7 months and no problems as of now.

  • what about display problems .............

  • hi.... how much u paid to change disply coz i have to change plz rply......

  • COuld somebody provide me with the details steps that I need to follow to install Skype on Spice Stellar PAD m1010. Thank you, Mukherji

  • hi, this tab having sim method, and its good or bad.

  • I bought this tab Just 4 months back and in this period it has given display problem twice. Pls dont buy this Tab.. its rubbish.. Dont go on external looks.. Internally its not at all strong..

  • Decent Battery, bright screen.. pretty fast... but terrible display with horrible colour banding problem.... seems to be no dithering algorithm.. does not render smooth gradient but discreet band of colours... backlight bleeding is another dampener..

  • this tab is presently available on website saholic.com. stock is limited. tablet is very good.

  • saholic.com check on this website

  • anyone plz tell how to use tata photon plus ec156 dongle on this device. i m trying but not able to connect any how. thanks

  • Is this tab still available... most of the online retailers show this is out of stock. Please refer if any one still selling this tab. I am keen to buy one.

  • Please tell me how to use MTS and reliance data card for Spice steller m1010 tab

  • Hi guys, got this tab from saholic.com. The first one was not charging so they replaced it. The new one is good in most aspects. But it has a really bad battery life. max 4-5 hours reading that too at lowest brightness. otherwise its been good.

  • hi guys I was going through the opinioms given by u people I accept that the after sales service is not at all good but u need to understand u wouldn't get any other tablet I bought the tablet in june and I noticed the gps and auto rotate screen was not working and the service centre sucks so I spoke to the head of spice and they were really helpful pls try the same in ur case it might work

  • i bought it 45 days back, good tab@8,500/- deal, good specs & awsome 7600 mah battery, only problem is charging time is tooooo long other than that everything is fine, i strongly recomend for the 1st time users.

  • Third class tab.don't dare to buy it.never working properly.spice make its insult by itself.and also third class service.shame on you spice.go to hell with your tab and all product.

  • In reply to anonymous at 1511 on 28/6/2013. I fully agree with you. Those complaining have certainly got bad pieces and I fully support their outburst and anger especially their outburst against the manufacturing company viz., SPICE for poor after sales service.

  • This is an excellent fast tab with a dual core processor. U got a bad piece.

  • I've been using this wonderful tablet for the last three weeks and can sum up my experience in one word - AWSOME.I purchased this wonderful tablet for Rs.8449/- from Saholic.com and have had no problems with it till date other than the occasional hanging twice during torrent downloading and playing an incompatible video file. Other than this, I have no complaints against this wonderful tablet which is comparable to any branded tablet in the Indian market. Everything is working well and is as per description on the website. Maybe I'm lucky and blessed with a good piece. The price of Rs.8449/- is a steal and I took full advantage of same by buying it on time because it is and has been out of stock since the last five days to date. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

  • I wanted to know that you had bought it in January and when you posted it was May and now it is June, so finally for how long has your tab been in the service centre? Please do reply as I wanted to buy the same.

  • Hi, I bought the tablet from Saholic and the moment I switched it on, thre is no display and it showing back light all over the screen. Any idea why is this happening?

  • I got one.bull shit tab.! wifi doesn't work. Auto roate doesn't work. Got with One pixel dead!!!

  • I will not recommend this pad for anyone... the operating system is too slow even with this 1 gb of ram...it gets hang very usual ...lack in games is also very common...and the port where doogle or pendrive gets attached gets out of working in 2 months of repaired...i repaired it 3 times..motreover absence of sim slot makes it a wall hanged piece...

  • i have got the same problem.I gave it to the nearby service center.Now it works properly

  • I purchased this Tab from Saholic. They promised me next day delivery but I got it finally after 4 days - today on 04.06.2013; and to add salt to injuries, it is now in status - "dead on arrival" No display - nothing happening, might be a faulty charger though i guess it is a dead display. I am really frustated though i believe this RK3066 Tab is one of the best available in Indian markets. I would love to have a RK3188 with 2 GB RAM ans 1080 P resolution screen sometimes soon. waiting for some company to launch around 15K. In the meanwhile another couple of weeks to get the product replaced. Terribly frustrated.

  • Hi, I am brought this on may and i fill that is awsoooooom tab for this price

  • Unbelievable in Rs 8499/- Has everything. Will eat the market of MM and Karbon because it is 10 times better than them in really lower price.

  • BUY IT. but take care as it does not have SIM facility. If you are OK without SIM then I see no reason you should look anywhere else.It has 3G USB dongle support anyway. THIS IS A STEAL in Rs 8499/- on SAHOLIC.com

  • Sorry to hear that... Hope you get it alright.. you were right in your decision to go for it... Hope you get it alright.. The device is good.. no... GREAT in this money.

  • It has got nearly everything . A 3G USB dongle can get you internet on the run. This facility is not there in Samsung Tablet that is selling in Rs 9500 or something now(and is small 7 inch tab).The display of Mi1010 is awesome and comparable with Samsung. Response is great too. Wifi net is superb. In Rs 8499 you get a 10.1 inch EXCELLENT sharp display. 3G USB dongle support, 16GB internal memory, 1 GB RAM, GPS, and other features...IT IS WORTH GOING FOR... can`t get a better deal than this anywhere anywhere.. BUY IT... NOW

  • Received it on 30th May 2013. Paid Rs 8499/-. TOTALLY Satisfied with performance. Can't get such a slick device in Rs8499/-. I am proud of my search for this device. The experience is very smooth. No lag. Excellent wifi connectivity. Menus and operation are smoothsail. It DOESN't have a SIM.That is the only 'issue' if you feel to name it like that. There is no other complaint. In this money you CANNOT get such a great display and such a smooth machine. Very responsive. Will make you happy. Great 10.1 inch display that is MILES ahead over 7 inch Karbon type of players...(with more money) BUY IT.

  • Just got a new tablet from indiatimes. The tablet is just not starting. I tried charging it also but no luck. The customer care is asking me to visit the service center. I think since i have this tablet i may have to make several visits to the center in the coming days.. very bad experience

  • Just brought this tablet. Delivery on time. Display good, brightness awesome, touch response good, having one dead pixel which isn't noticeable. Serious games/casual games works pretty well. I was looking for my kid so no calling/3g etc required. For me it's proving a good buy as of now. Bottom line, 8.5k is a very good bargain for what you get in terms of hardware and the performance against it.

  • How can i install Tata Docomo or Mts Dongle in dis tab.Pls Help me for installation.

  • Dude, absolutely disagree. Its best amongst in its segment, and heavy price drop to 8499, its a steal. Give data points rather than shouting shit. No comparison to crappy Karbonn/micromax

  • heloo hi. i purchased the same pad. its awesome. but it has the flickering probs while charging. it happen in my room and hospital. but when i took it to the service centre it works well. then i showed them the video of it and showed it to them. finally they said they wil give a new charger to try with that. waiting for the new charger. but still i hav the replacement warranty, but i dont hav to give this tab back, its so good. dont knw the new wil be as good as this. here i want to knw wat happen to ur issue? they fixed it?

  • Im warning you, do not go with this option. Although seems pretty good 2 start with, the service sucks and i had 2 give it for service like twice in 3 days for diff problems and the 2nd time, he broke my screen and said it was my fault. After convincing him otherwise, he agreed for a replacement and took such a long time, i lost interest in an otherwise brand new tablet which i was looking forward 2 enjoy. The resolution is nothing 2 boast about either, youre better off spending more and going with a a good brand like Apple or Samsung. If your planning to buy this, you will be disappointed unless ure lucky and nothing bad happens. Since Spice is an Indian company and they dont really care for their customers satisfaction, i dont recommend this. Service centre guy is adamant and refuses to accept fault in the device even though it is obvious. I feel like a wasted a whole lot of time and money with this product. I wish i had'nt bought this product because of the whole experience which was unsatisfactory to say the least and surely, i should have expected a lot better from any tablet manufacturing company esp a well-known company like Spice. Very disappointed. I will make it a point to never buy a Spice product again in my life at any cost.

  • Why do say so...expert reviews are good for this one...please highlight the issue that you faced that can help us better to make a choice.

  • Best Tablet

  • It is a very good buy in terms of performance - battery life, touch feeling, display, apps, connectivity, etc. Myself and kids have been using it for more than 2 months. Heavy usage by my kids - they play only motion sensor high resolution games.excellent performance. Works well with tata DoCoMo and MTS data cards with out any issues. Wireless is also fine.I checked more than 7 tablets in the market and bought it after trying others. I recommend this strongly.

  • This tablet is now available on Saholic.com @ Rs.8499/- My question is, is it worth buying? Please reply owners of this pad.

  • Worst product.. From spice better you can buy karbonn smart tab 10 cosmic... Cosmic is way better than this...

  • i bought it at jan 2013. but within a week its screen started blinking. it display light ultimately collopsed. its still lying at service centre for more then a month.

  • nice tab

  • wats da use if no sim???

  • Hey, I'm from Kolkata too and looking to buy a tablet that suits my low budget (around 13K), I was also looking for zync but with its poor review, i came across spice and most review channles showed its a decent buy. However,m ur comment and experience hints otherwise...if possible contact me at my mail so that I can go for a better tablet and not get cheated [email protected] thanks :D

  • u r lucky fellow, coz it did worked on your tab at least for 1 min... In mine it never worked yet, I've tried more a dozen different types of dongles. I'm facing Wifi issue since I bought it... for some reason I couldn't reach Service Center yet... so be happy...

  • i have reliance MF-190 dongle and when i coonec this to my spice tab,it shows damaged storage and reliance network shows in bottom of the screen and internet starts working But after 1min or less tab shows removed storage.and internet automaticly dis connect. any solution plzzz tl me any solution plzzz tl meany solution plzzz tl me any solution plzzz tl me

  • Dear all, is it support all the Data cards are not?????

  • mate its one of the feature to avoid voice cracking sound at high level. advice you to put off "Limit" button in equalizer screen and reduce "Pre-amp" buffer level to 30-40%. then it will not "auto-level" at high volume.

  • why do you need bluetooth? with apps like bump! for 3g wifi transfer.. understandable cost cutting strategy...

  • no bluetooth....../// bad option.....:/

  • Skype runs very smoothly on this tab.in fact everything runs very well...it does not support all dongles..check the list of dongles given in specs..

  • What????? No bluetooth!!!

  • Use zte dongles such as zte mf190 to make calls.all dongles do not support call facility.

  • I'm planning to bye stealer 1010. But first I want to cofirm it supports all common 3g usb dongle viz beetel, airtel to surf internet. I also want to know does skype runs smoothly on this tab. If anybody knows plz tell.

  • 5. Customer support not ready to give an SLA when they can fix that. I suggest not to buy this pad and not to purchase any spice produt any time. I am a real user. If challenged I can show the purchase, complain recipts with serial number of product. pissed off with spice and its over priced product

  • I purchased this pad in last week and things went from bad to worse. I was looking for a pad with call facility and inclined towards Zynch Z-1000 and accidentally walked into the spice mobile store in Kolkata saltlake. They showed the tablet I liked the look and feel. I was said the card doesnt have a sim card slot but can make call using a 3G sim and a dongol but can not demo thant as they did not have any 3G dongle at that time. Though they charged 2000 Rs. more than Zync i purchased the tab. My nightmare started from that day Con 1. The tablet had dead pixel problem 2. back light leaks 3. can not make call ( later i found that in specification. I was clearly cheated by the store) 4. Pathetic customer support - Store said 25 days replacement guarantee, customercare said 7 days. Cheated again 5.

  • Yes, it does work with Dongle.

  • Anybody knows how to root this?

  • hi i want to check if serial number is showing up in your tab, about tablet> status.

  • Some notable issues are there in 1010. 1) The backlight is glowing on the sides of the tab screen 2) The charger is getting heated very quickly which is not a good sign. 3) I have come accross 6 tabs, in that 5 are having dead pixels(1/2) 4) One tab is having a issue flikering horizontal lines apprears on the screen for 2 sec before the spice logo when switching on the tab. These issues were reported to the spice and when they tried to replace the tab, continuously on all the six tabs having issues and one i have is the six tab with flikering issue. when checked with customer care, they said it is not a issue and can be ignored. But, there support is appreciated. I raised the issue to the area manager. Will update on the above after the response from him.

  • I bought this tab around 15 days ago and i faced some issues with wifi earlier. Some times it does not connect and i need to restart. One more issue is with the sound output. When i play a song with full volume, the voice gets decreased when there are heavy bass in the song. I use poweramp which is the best media player on android, but i am not able to find why this is happening. When i reduce volume to 70% then this problem does arises. any one else faced same issue

  • Hi guys, I also bought spice mi 1010 tab, I want to check with the spice users are you able to see serial number inside the tab (in the about table > status) Because in mine it says unavailable

  • if you are looking for reading e-books then you should go for kindle fire e- reader.

  • yeah, issue with 3.5mm headphone jack (mainly distortion)

  • Hey guy's, This is balu from Vijayawada . Actually I'want to buy this.But anyone tell me weather this work with BLUETOOTH DONGLE. Which is used for pc's to make data transferable.

  • You can go with this if u r looking for ebook reading, it has 10 inch 1200x800 display above than all 10 inch tablet in market for this range of price. If u will read, browse, social networking with no video or hd games it will easily last for 6-8 hrs. But of course not on full brightness. Tab is really very bright I always put it on half brightness. I bought it 10 days before in beginning I was facing Wifi issue as it wasn't turning on but now automatically it starts working... Performance... just don't ask, go & take a test ride, it is available on all Spice spot, I checked every thing before buying. Hope will help...

  • Am looking for a portable (light weight) device mainly for reading pdf (EBooks). My reading shouldn't be disrupted due to power cuts.(Means even during dark time). I rarely browse. Device should be more than 7 inches, so that my eyes wont get strain or I don't have to zoom in/out my eyes like Jim Carry in movie Mask. Can this device would meet my requirement or do you have any other options (No plan to use kindle as it cannot be used where there is no light)

  • usually Samsung and HTC headphones don't work for spice products. use Nokia or simple others.

  • I have purchased this 3 days before... its working well but some problem in battery indications and earphones. Do u guys sufferings the same?

  • Thanks you guys, my problem was when it turns off it didn't turns on back... But after three days WiFi started automatically, till now working fine. Didn't stuck after that, I reset it so many time to make it work and god knows how long will it work. One more thing I faced with this that screen stoped rotating, so I reset it again to fix. I'm typing this using spice stellar bad... right now every thing is working fine... Thanks Will keep update about this pad later.

  • ALL android devices will lose wifi signal when the device sleeps. The solution is to install an app from the Play store that keeps the processor on while wifi is on so that the connection does not die. I use "REGPON wifi KeepAlive" on my LG Optimus 2x. You can try that or any similar app from the play store. Let us know if that solves the problem.

  • Sorry Garish, missed your comment, I will leave it for 15-20 min as idle and wait.

  • Hi Harish, I am no expert. But I have been using it with Tata photon+ and also used my mobile as WiFi hotspot and the tab seems to be connecting to the Wi-Fi and holding the connection as well as long as I am using. Can you specify the idle time or approx time after which the connection drops?

  • Hey Gaurav, I need help... I bought this pad 2 days before in 12990/-, but its wifi is not turning ON. do you have any issue with Wi-Fi. It started like this... In beginning when I left Tablet Idle Wi-Fi get disconnected automatically even it is selected "never" in setting. So after sleep when I try to ON Wi-Fi it says "turning on..." & stuck on this msg in settings. So I restarted & connected it it worked. But again I leave it idle for 10-15 min again disconnected & this time I had to reset the tab from setting to start Wi-Fi. But from yesterday it's not turning ON at all... it show msg "Wifi turning on..." but it didn't. I have only option to submit it service center because I tried every thing like reset & even I erased internal SD card but no luck. thanks in advance tab really great with other functions.

  • Yes,skype works, tested with photon+

  • Yes, I am using it...Am wondering if someone can help making ZTE MF112 work on it.

  • yes it is working fine

  • Can Spice 1010 be used to surf internet through TATA Photon+ ?

  • I am planning to purchase this tablet primarily for skype calls.can anyone with hands on experience comment on skype calling performance.some reviewer has noted that skype crashes on this tablet.

  • This is an excellent Tablet for this (12999 INR) price range. It never let you down. Perfect to read books, web surfing and games. Touchscreen is smooth & responsive.....Nice battery backup approx. 6 hrs.(7600 mAh Lithium - Ion Polymer).....Display quality is awesome (Quadcore GPU)......Audio quality is decent.....Adobe reader & Office Suite runs just perfect. Only bad thing is that doesn't have Bluetooth.

  • No it does not have SIM slot. You can get connected through 3G Dongle. The front camera is for Video Calling through Skype and other applications. PLEASE MAKE NOTE that it DOES NOT HAVE BLUETOOTH connectivity too.

  • Any Idea about whether it would have a sim slot version of it to follow

  • also available on spice hot spot showrooms

  • wow one amoung the great phone value for money!!!! good display.its a co brother of i PAD can buy only from spice hotspot.

  • @Mukku Battery doesn't have frequencies.... So stop writing rubbish in your review as people who read them feel cheated that "Here is some one who is trying to say that he knows something about the device and about Technology, but the fact is, he knows none !"

  • available at Spice hotspot and u can use internet dongle

  • from where u have purchased this please let me know brother

  • wow Latest supppperb battery superior android pad

  • I have no using-experience of Spice Mi-1010 Stellar Pad but after going through its specs I found this 10inchs Tab gaint with supppppperb 7600MHz battery and not to forget latest android OS JellyB.... WOW! But non-availability of SIM card slot/option makes this tab a bit dissapointing for tab lovings. As in India Hot-spot connectivity is not available at all point and people are not too much use-to of Data card. But nevertheless with the all sparkling features of Spice Mi-1010 Stellar Pad you can have rocking experience. Mukesh Prasad
